The distribution of relativistic protons in the Galaxy is calculated in the frame of the diffusion model. These calculations are compared with those obtained from the γ-ray background observed on the satellites SAS 2 and COS B. The calculations have shown that in the energy range Eγ < 10 GeV positrons are evidently produced in the galactic disk due to interaction of the diffusing proton-nuclear component with atomic hydrogen only. The positron spectrum for Eγ > 10 GeV range cannot be described in the frame of this model and additional positron sources emitting hard-spectra particles are necessary. The calculations demonstrate that about 30% of the total γ-ray emission of the Galaxy is radiated by the halo in the energy range of 0.1 - 5 GeV. The other part of the emission in this energy range is radiated by the galactic disk.
